Full Name: Talae Rowan Shanir

Age: 24

Gender: Female

Race: Dark Elf

Class: Assassin- Talae specializes in quick, hit-and-run kills, most often executed from concealment. The method is almost always by poison or blade, but she does have some hand-to-hand skill for the sake of flexibility and pure utility- it's easier to take a prisoner's knives than their arms and legs. Due to being largely self-taught, there are some glaring weaknesses in her style, but most of the time, her opponents don't see her coming, and so it hardly matters. Open-field, traditional combat can and does prove to be a problem, though, and more than once she has returned home injured enough that her sister has been forced to develop something of a knack for healing spells. She doesn't have much of an option, though; it's get bloodied every once in a while or starve.

Physical Description: Talae exudes aloof confidence, and makes no effort to hide that fact. Her appearance is designed to be intimidating not in the musclebound manner but more from inscrutability, and though she dresses a good deal more modestly than some people, she does not go in for what anyone would describe as full armor. The non-combat inclined tend to shy away from her on instinct; even soldiers aren't exactly nonplussed either. She is heavily armed at any given time, even if the only visible weapons are a strange dual-bladed knife and the throwing ones that clink softly in her hair, where she has tied them to the bands that keep the small braids within her ponytail in place. These are blunted and mostly for show, but they'll do in a pinch, and it's more for the effect than anything. She'd recently added a bastardsword to her repertoire, and this is slung across her back.

Tall for her race at an even 5'8", she generally doesn't express much, preferring to remain detached from just about everything, at least in appearance. Red eyes are utilized in appraising looks and intimidating stares in equal measure, whatever the situation demands, really. Her skin is a very deep color, her hair starkly white against it, like most of her race.
